Pros

the only redeeming value of working here was meeting some of the people that will later on help you find a job after they too have moved on from this hell hole.

Cons

oh where to start? the CEO is verbally abusive. lunch was purchased by the CEO but to keep employees inside working on a product that is by no means innovative, visionary or "game changing". benefits were a joke. you want to know about office office culture?: unless you are a sadist and/or masochist there is absolutely no reason as to why you would want to get up in the morning and actually head in to the office. At the end of the day the money isn't worth it, considering you may not even get paid when you are supposed to. The person who previously wrote that there is a "collegiate vibe" is absolutely correct if they are referring to a frat/sorority that has endless hazing 24/7. i have no idea where they are getting money to actually pay people considering no one has ever seen or met the investors and the product is free. a "start up" that has been around for 3+ years and has 1 part time developer (or at least did when i worked there) is the absolute worst allocation of talent. the post "chiming in on fake reviews" was clearly written by the CEO as it is clearly a sales pitch and not an actual review of the company or the environment. just writing this review is giving me PTSD. stay far far away from this company, if you are desperate for a job be a dog walker.

Pros

I found my current position via craigslist and was pleasantly surprised to learn it was a genuine company. Although I work from home PT as a contractor, I feel like a valuable part of the company. A few weeks after becoming a contractor for the organization, I stumbled upon the reviews on Glassdoor. At first I was concerned, but interactions with my co-workers are always professional. I've been with the company for almost 6 months now and I, personally, have never experienced questionable behavior or had negative interactions with the CEO or anyone for that matter. I am paid on time and they have accommodated my needs. In my time short time here, I have seen the platform improve significantly and hear of additional improvements to come. I’m excited to be part of the Shindig team as Shindig becomes the high quality brand it has the potential to be. We are a talented group eager to move the company forward.

Cons

As a start-up, there are always challenges to overcome and changes are a part of the process. Being a remote contractor, it can be difficult to stay current on these changes and get that information timely (i.e. events getting moved with little notice, etc.). I started this position with the goal of becoming a FT member of the team, while that hasn’t hasn't happened just yet, my hours have increased and I have increased responsibilities.
